BERLIN Nov I2-Dr Scnreter declares that
the disease from which the Crown Prince is
suffering is a cancer. He proposes to perform
the dangerous operation of tracneotomy and
completely extirpate the This, he
thinks. he will prolong the patients life three
four years. DIR. Mackenzie is against this
course of treatment. as he fears that the Crown
Prince may succumb under it. He hopes to
prolone the Princes life for year and half by
methods he advocates. DIR. Kraus proposes
tracheotomy. All the doctors. however, are in
favor of postponing any operation for the pres

Reno were unheard in Berlin till toward even
ing On the Bourse business was over Some
evening papers had congratulatory articles
the improving prospects of the Crown Prince,
when suddenly semi-ofhcial reports per-
mitted to transpire that yesterday evenings adj
vices were false news. These reports created
general CONSERVATION. The early announce
ments were vaguely put, TO the effect that the
malady had been found to be of = cancerous
nature, and that with regard to the further
treatment of the Crown Prince trustworthy
information would be obtainable until a verbal
report received from DR.. Schmidt. who
went to San Reno at the command of the EN-
peror. Nothing was said about the chances of
recovery the condition of the patient but the
official admission was enough to confirm the
worst fears in the public mind concerning the
Crown Princes fate. Later it became known
that Professor Bergmanc had not lectured at
the university. being engaged in consultation
on the expediency of performing another
operation. and that Drs. Schroeder
aud Kraus in favor of inn
Smediate tracheotomy, while Drs. Schroetzer
and Mackenzie were opposed to it. At last de-
eisive examination was made yesterday morn
ing, which resulted in the doctors unanimously
declaring that radical cure was i'm possible. the
only difference of opinion being as to how long
the Crown Princes life could pc prolonged. The
Crown Prince heard part of the discussion be-
tween the doctors. He showed the greatest
if-possesson when told that his recovery was
very uncertain, and requested to meet the Prin-
sess He afterward ssnt q long dispatch to the
Emperor. and then, recalling the doctors, he
told them that be placed himself in their hands.
Dr. Mackenzie communicated the result of the
examination to Prince William who seemed to
be more affected by the dreadful news than his
father had been. Dr. Schmidt, who will per-
sonally read the report of the doctors to the
Emperor tomorrow, shares DR.. Mackenzi op-
position to immediate operation. His rela-
tions With the Emperor, therefore, will un-
doubtedly influence the family decision Prince
William returns to Berlin tomorrow.
The confirmation of the statement that the
Grown Prince is afflicted with cancer has re-
vived interest in the methods attempted for the
extirpation OF the disease. The National
keitung, in an article bearing the stamp of
authority, says:
despite the malignant nature of cancer, the
larnyx operation is now frequently successful
The most famous German operators are DIR.
Hahn, of the Friedrichsham Hospital. Berlin
and DR.. Bergman, who recently performed
five operations. and in every case the patient

plete success"
gentleman named Pruner, residing in
Prague, has sent letters to the newspapers stat
ing that Professor Gussenhaum, of Heidelberg,
removed the whole of his larynx in $780, since
when he has enjoyed excellent health.
Whatever is done with the Crown Prince the
feeling in the highest quarters is against further
reliance upon DR.. Mackenzie. It will be an un-
availing and poignant source of regret to all
Germany that while the German specialists
diagnosed the cancerous character of the growth
at the of the Princes illness, the treat E
ment of the case was committed to DR.. Macken-
Ee. The opinions of Professors Tobold

recalled as proofs of the accuracy of the Ger
man specialists. Professor Toboiu's written
opinion is now of historic ntarest He declared
that the first removal of the first growth from
1.-The Crown Princes throat with forceps by Doc
TOR Mackenzies method provoked vigorous re-
currence of the tumor. After the fourth
sultatlon on the Crown Princes case Professor
Tobold wrote II hold that the quite dangerless
process of laryngo-fssure is the fittest mode of
completely doing away with the growth, en-
abling sureness and absolute exactness in the
excise of the diseased part. ard the destruction
of the seeds of further growth by cauteriza-
tion.n
The only eminent defender of Dr. Mackenzie
is Professor Vertel, of Munich. He maintains
that Mackenzie did not select the wrong treat
ment, that he continued that begun under Berg
mann and Gerhardt, and that operation in
the spring would have been utterly useless.
The following semi-oficial summary of the
opinions of the ply sicIans in attendance at San
Reno is issued Tonight:
DR.. Schroeter holds that the new growth
below the vocal chords Is cancerous. and advises
the complete cutting out of the whole larnyx.
He claims that immediate operation would
be very advantageous, but says he would con-
sent to q postponement. as in the meantime the
malady be combated by rracheotomy DIR.
Schroeter is convinced that the life Of the Crown
Prince might be preserved by the total excision
of the iarnyx Although the operation is very
dangerous aud its effect uncertain, is might be
attended with good results An excision from
